Commentary: A War of Hype, and Paramount's Big Bombshell

[dialog_gvf]

HD DVD has consistently sold more dedicated stand-alone disc players than Blu-ray, and stand-alone players have a much higher attach rate of discs sold (PS3 owners are more likely to buy the unit for games than for Blu-ray movies). Taking the long view, if this trend continues, HD DVD could have a growth surge that eventually surpasses Blu-ray.

This trend hasn't continued already. Blu-ray is now selling more stand-alones in the US. If you're going to talk about trends, shouldn't you at least know what those trends are?

Except for the Paramount announcement, what single thing has occured this year that doesn't point to Blu-ray leading and continuing to lead?
